Problem with phono stage
Hi Emil, I do believe you are overloading it. What cartridge are you using and how are you loading the Lehman? Ralph from Atma-Sphere should be able to help you with a solution.Mike

Help with TT ideas for my first TT
I recently spoke to an old friend who owns a Hi Fi store in Michigan. His first choice for a starter audiophile deck is the Sota Escape. I am a big time Sota fan and I had no idea this table existed! It is an....interesting looking turntable. It h... 
Pro-ject Primary vs Primary E vs Debut III
alonper, there are several very significant changes. First is the drive.The Primary E uses just a plain AC synchronous motor which depends on the accuracy of the frequency coming into the house. You switch speeds by flipping the belt to the next s... 
Recommendation for a sound pro in the NYC Metro area for dedicated stereo room design
Chillysalt, My best advise is to go to Sound by Singer and make like you are going to buy a system. Then ask Who they use and why.

Now Hear This
That is a Basis Inspiration with a SuperArm 12 with a Lyra Atlas. It is a beautiful room. I hate that he put the table right behind the left speaker. It is great to see young people involved with Classical music.  
High Compliance Cart on Heavier Arm
Chakster's test record will definitively let you know where you are with any cartridge. If the cartridge is too stiff (low compliance) for the arm you are at risk for acoustic feedback which sounds like a howl. Many systems do not go that low so t...

Upgrade my tone arm?
bukanona, to be polite the DV507 is a nightmare. mglik, it is always best to start out with a lighter arm. You can always add mass, hard to take it away.chakster, I love Reed arms. The 2G is a better design than the 3P. Both use the same tonearm w...
